ESTRO GUIDE 2017

multi-modality management of cervical cancer • Basic knowledge of and experience with radiological patho-anatomy relevant to cervical cancer • Experiencewith existing external beamandbrachyther- apy workflows and processes in cervical cancer. • Basic infrastructure in your department which facili- tates post-course implementation of 3D image guided brachytherapy (afterloader, access to volumetric im- aging, MRI/CT compatible applicators, and treatment planning system). TEACHINGMETHODS • Lectures / tutorials: 16 hours • Practical workshop: 8 hours • Applicators commissioning and reconstruction: 6 hours - Physicists • Cadaveric workshop: 6 hours - Physicians Description:The tutorials include discussions of basics, evidence based treatments, contouring guidelines, various processes involved in advanced EBRT and brachytherapy techniques and quality assurance. The practical hands on demonstration covers a direct learning process involved in approach, brachythera- py techniques, contouring exercises, evaluation and discussions on transition from 2D to 3D radiotherapy. METHODS OF ASSESSMENT • Contouring (FALCON tool) and dose planning exercises (pre- and post-course homework) • Interactive feedback through audience voting on specific questions during lectures • MCQ (interactive session at the end of the course) • ESTRO teaching course evaluation form. KEYWORDS Evidence based multi-modality management guide- lines, 2D to 3D transition, Image Guided Adaptive Brachytherapy (IGABT) in cervical cancers, contouring guidelines for advanced EBRT including IMRT/ IGRT and image based brachytherapy in cervical cancer. ACCREDITATION Application for CME recognition will be submitted to the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME), an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS). EAC- CME credits are recognised by the American Medical Association towards the Physician’s Recognition Award (PRA). Information on the status of the applications can be obrachytherapyained from the ESTRO office.
